2012 Guide to Promotional Opportunities for Behavioral Organizations

We are excited to present this comprehensive and informational guide to assist you in planning the marketing and promotion of your organization.

Organizational Membership

Organizational membership provides a comprehensive package of benefits that include membership and convention privileges for three individuals from your organization as well as recognition of your support of ABAI and the field of behavior analysis. Organizational membership also includes all of the benefits of individual membership, such as access to the membership database, interaction with colleagues and associates, member discounts, and journal subscriptions. Features of Organizational membership include:

Recognition as an Organizational member with link, logo, and 65-word description on the ABAI website.
Three individual ABAI memberships. Each membership includes:

Subscriptions to Inside Behavior Analysis (IBA) and The Behavior Analyst (TBA)
Discounts on ABAI products and services.

Exhibit booth (10' x 10') at the annual convention.
Three ABAI annual convention registrations.
One institutional subscription to The Analysis of Verbal Behavior (TAVB).
Two free job postings on ABAI's job placement website; reduced pricing on additional postings.
Classified ad (25 lines) in three issues of Inside Behavior Analysis (2012).
ABAI membership mailing list on address labels (one set).
Inclusion of your contact information in ABAI's on-line membership directory.
Acknowledgement of support as an Organizational member in the annual convention program book.
New Organizational members have the opportunity to submit one 2-page article for one issue of Inside Behavior Analysis, highlighting the organization's background, history, and application of behavior analysis science and technologies through its services. (Materials submitted for publication are subject to review by the Organizational Review Committee).

Although Organizational membership in no way implies ABAI endorsement of the services provided, this package allows organizations to utilize ABAI resources more effectively.

Criteria and Review Process for New Applicants

All new applicants for ABAI Organizational membership are reviewed by the Organizational Membership Review Committee for consistency with the mission of ABAI. All applications and accompanying materials are reviewed to assess the appropriateness for acceptance, as well as the adequacy of materials submitted. Organizational applicants must show evidence of genuine training in behavior analysis, have contributed to the literature on behavior analysis, and provide services consistent with behavior analytic principles. Organizations must employ at least one Full member of ABAI and one of BCBA or two Full members of ABAI in full-time positions.
